Welcome to the forum. Why are you going to replace the transmission on it?

It slips on the gears but it isn't very bad

wait...you just bought a car with a slipping transmission and the dealership is going to fix it? I really hope you looked into that before buying the car and do hope they agreed to fixing it.

Do you know much about detailing? Have you used Meguiers Ultimate Compund? That got out a lot of the smaller scratches on mine.

Wash>clay bar>compound>wax is what I did.

Lol you can forget detailing. Youre at the point of repainting or touching it with DIY and live with it. Its hard to tell from the pictures if its just the paints been mistreated/neglected or if those are from little accidents. Youll need a body shop most likely if you want it to look anything like original.
